About this listen

In a dying world, how far will a mother go to save her child?

'Not Alone kept me breathless with tension' – Emma Donoghue, bestselling author of Room

'Intensely moving, genuinely gripping' – Charlotte Mendelson, author of The Exhibitionist

Five years ago a toxic storm made the world unrecognizable. Now the air outside could be deadly.

Katie has done everything in her power to create a haven for her little boy, Harry. But now their home is no longer safe.

And so they begin an impossible journey in search of the man Katie was meant to marry. It will take them across a devastated Britain and through terrible danger, but hope and love drive them on . . .

'Hauntingly beautiful' – The Guardian

Sarah K. Jackson's astonishing debut is a story of single parenthood, environmental destruction and hope – against all the odds.

Critic reviews

The emotionally wrenching story of a young mother’s fight to save her young son as they struggle across a toxic and hostile world. The tension never lets up. Utterly believable, always compelling, and deeply moving. I loved it. (Ian Irvine, author of A Shadow on the Glass)
A gutwrenching, whiteknuckle postapocalyptic thriller, a story of love and perseverance. (Gabriel Tallent, New York Times bestselling author of My Absolute Darling)
Harrowing and achingly human, Not Alone is a sharp exploration of environmental apocalypse — and a celebration of pure, boundless love that can survive anything. This triumphant debut finds hope in the darkest places, and it made me want to be a better person. (Allison Epstein, author of A Tip for the Hangman)
Sarah K. Jackson’s Not Alone is an ode to ferocious power of motherhood, even in the face of Earth’s utter devastation. Part dire warning, part love song, Not Alone explores how, like a tree bending toward sunlight, life may endure if our worst climate nightmares become reality. Haunting, endearing, and captivating. (Caroline Woods, author of The Cigarette Girl)
Tense, brutal, and tender, Not Alone cuts to the core of how and why we survive. Jackson gives readers a truly harrowing adventure about the pull of light in the darkest hour. (Erika Swyler, bestselling author of The Book of Speculation)
